Are the Panthers unsure of who their #1 is or is it just a smokescreen…

Young or Stroud. I want Young, but will be happy with Stroud.

I've tried recently to get knowledgeable on both. I love both, and wouldn't be mad at either.

I think the way it's playing is speaking your way out of young for cj, but young seems like the better pick. But I also love cj.

It's up in the air for me.

That’s kind of how I feel. Stroud is their safe pick, but they will still see if AR can convince them he is worth the gamble. I say this only because of the timing in relation to the combine.

I have a feeling they’ve always had AR in high regard. Maybe they thought he’d be there from the 3-9 range before the combine. But after the combine, or during, they probably got a sense that other teams were also high on AR. He performed really well and they probably knew he wouldn’t be there in the 3-9 range, so, liking both qbs they traded up to get whoever they liked after watching film, interviews etc. It’s just speculation on my part, but to me, this whole process is interesting.

Our head coach, offensive coordinator, QB coach, running back coach and assistant GM all know what’s it’s like(through experience) to be hit by a 315 pound man. 
 

Although I don’t have that in common with them, it makes me believe they will be very uncomfortable drafting Young at 1. 
 

I think it’s Stroud with a dark horse of ARich if they trade down. I say don’t get cute. Please just take Stroud.

There's a whole thread about this right?

And the surrounding talent isn't accounted for, ARich had the worst OL in those games. None of his Wrs had any separation, he played hero ball the whole time.

But they gave him more respect than Levis

If they traded up to draft a project with 13 starts and horrible numbers.. I’m questioning my fandom..

Not saying they draft him, it’s just now there will be no what if, they can get whoever they like of the three. Plenty of time to talk and think about it.

You gave up to much to trade up and not have a clue.. That would be the clearest sign of malpractices and organizational failure… 

 

Jmo there is nothing to discuss other then Young vs Stroud.. Levi’s and Richardson are discussions for teams that don’t have a top 3 pick… Taking a big swing with the number 1 pick is like Hiring a college coach with no pro experience and giving him a 7 year deal for 70 million dollars..

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
